New Additions
Ray Emery- He was invited to camp to compete for the backup position. Depending on how he plays on Saturday, he might be the Blackhawks backup goalie.
The Young Ones
Alexander Salak- He was acquired along with Michael Frolik in a trade for Jack Skille last year. He is a feisty goalie and depending on whether or not he out-plays Emery he could be the backup goalie for the Hawks.
The Veterans
Corey Crawford- With one year under his belt, he should be better. He will be the undisputed starter this season unlike last season. He showed how good he can be during the playoffs last year and hopefully he can play that way throughout the season.
Breakout Player
I think Crawford will be a breakout player of sorts. He didn’t get to show his complete talent last year. He had a short time period to play. He will get a lot more starts this year and will show how good he really is.
Predictions
Crawford will help lead the Hawks on what could be a cup run during the playoffs. He is a solid goalie that will be trustable during the playoffs. Goaltending won’t be a problem like it was for part of the year last year.
